Running back Lonvontae Page had mixed emotions Sunday afternoon while sitting in FAMU's locker room. He was glad to be alive after being shot in his left forearm Saturday night. Some anger was in his voice as he talked about the incident that ruined what was the best start to his college football career. He will miss the remaining games this season and will request a medical red shirt, coach Joe Taylor said.
Sophomore RB Lonvontae Page plows 6 yards for Rattler TD, gaining 61 yards on 20 carries in FAMU 21-12 win over Delaware State Hornets.
Page was the victim of a stray bullet about two hours after he'd rushed for 61 yards on 20 carries to help the Rattlers beat Delaware State 21-12 in their season opener. His 14-year old cousin, Quinterrius Page, also was struck in the jaw by the same bullet that wounded the sophomore running back. A third victim was identified as a 17-year-old. FAMU police arrested a 17-year old boy Sunday morning on three counts each of felony battery using a deadly weapon, firing a weapon in public and crimes against persons, said FAMU Police Chief Calvin Ross.
